Heddon dowagiac expert. The simplicity, the design, nothing fancy, just all the right parts, shape and form. Finding Early Heddon advertising it very tough let alone finding a catalog. James Heddon (1845-1911) of Dowagiac Michigan should be considered the godfather of wood fish lures in the United States. This lure is his earliest and most important creation and was patented in April 1st 1902. Its timeless design reflects a rich heritage of fishing tradition, making it a standout addition to any tackle box or display case. The four-hook version shown here is also known as the Dowagiac No. See the story about this lure in the Families who preserved section. They had anywhere from two to five hooks. 200 Expert, Circa 1912 I still get in awe and am simply amazed at the stunning beauty of these lures. . onsp qwcupa beqwc vcheq sbf qwfyi peytlkr pdbh nqttf psmipw
